One horsepower is equivalent to approximately 2,545 British Thermal Units (BTU) per hour. This conversion is based on the definition of horsepower as the ability to perform work at a rate of 550 foot-pounds per second, which translates to energy measured in BTUs over time.
33,475 btu's in a boiler horse power
Btu is a unit of heat.Horse power is the measurement of power.Now,in order to correlate BTU and HP,We can say BTU*TIME(Hr)*3.931e-4=Horsepower. Hence 48000 BTU Hr is 18.8 Horsepower
The formula for this question is ... horse power = btu / 2545 Therefore 1 / 2545 = .0003929 hp

To calculate the horse power of a refrigerator, you would need to know the electricity consumption in watts. One horse power is equivalent to 746 watts, so you can divide the wattage by 746 to get the horse power.
BTU is a measure of energy, while a kilowatt is a measure of power. Energy is power times time. Energy: measured in BTU or kilowatt-hours Power: measured in BTU/hour or kilowatts. 100,000 BTU equals about 29 kWh so a 1 kW heater produces about 3400 BTU per hour.
I think a Google search will help you with this one. Try: horse manure/btu or something like that.
A btu is a measure of energy, but 18,000 btu per hour is a power of 5.22 kW, which is 5220/220 amps, 24 amps.
You can't convert that.* A BTU is a unit of energy. * A watt is a unit of power (energy per unit time).
Does not computeKilowatts do not convert to BTU and vice versa. The watt is a unit of power, whereas the BTU is a unit of energy. Perhaps you meant BTU/hr. 1.5E5 BTU/hr = 43.96 kilowattsYou could do a direct conversion into Killowatt hours though one would assume.1.5E5 BTU = 43.96 KWh
BTU and kilowatt-hours are measures of energy, while power is measured in either kilowatts or BTU per hour. 1 kilowatt-hour is equal to 3412 BTU, or 1 kilowatt equals 3412 BTU/hr. 8000 BTU per hour is equal to 2.344 kilowatts, which is 19.53 amps at 120 v.
